May I ask you to expand on "why" a little bit, please? Personally I don't know about the process for when d-s-s gets updated. I would somehow expect that d-s-s gets updated, for (old)stable, when a DSA/DLA is being issued, where the DxA probably said "package X is not supported anymore" or "package Y will not be supported after Z". If my assumption is correct, then I'd suggest uploading d-s-s at the same time as issuing the DxA, to $suite-security. (*) I feel that this would be important for people with automated monitoring - they will immediately see alerts for packages they have installed, which became unsupported. NB: all of this assumes data-only changes in d-s-s. Chris *: if that needs a policy change, i feel the change would be warranted.
